Wait until the last minute to turn on your turn signals and you may be rear-ended by a driver not paying close attention or driving too fast.

When preparing to turn right, you should be in the rightmost lane that is designated for right turns. Make sure to signal your intention to turn well in advance to alert other drivers and pedestrians.

To properly use the bike left turn signal while riding on the road, extend your left arm straight out to the side to indicate your intention to turn left. This signal should be given well in advance of the turn to alert other road users of your intended maneuver.
When turning, you should give your turn signal at least 100 feet before the turn in urban areas and at least 500 feet before the turn on highways. This allows other drivers and pedestrians ample time to react to your intended maneuver. Always ensure your signal is activated well in advance to promote safety and clear communication on the road.
